Heh. I can think of plenty of people who'd call me vain for drinking to that one. Lucky I'm drinking with you instead.

[Chuuya drinks, naturally.]

Well, never have I ever been a sexy redhead.

[Things are going south fast, but the moment Elise fixes her gaze on poet-Chuuya, Chuuya leaps into action, using his ability to send her flying into a nearby wall. Mori is as good as dead, but Elise won’t stay down for long until her user passes away, and Chuuya immediately leaps away from the area, hoping that Elise will follow him and not his boyfriend.

One of them is going to have to engage her soon, and like hell Chuuya is going to let it be his lover.]

[goatsongs]

[Unless instructed otherwise, Elise is quick to anger with attacks on herself - Mori made her that way. Mori can speak no instructions right now, so it's mafia-Chuuya that she speeds after.

Poet-Chuuya can't just abandon his lover, it's out of the question - but he knows himself too well to think he'd be very useful in a fight against a small girl, even if she is Mori's ability.

Instead, he approaches the fallen Mori, who's still struggling to try to breathe, and shoots him twice in the head while he's prone.

Elise won't stop fighting until Mori's dead, so the solution is to make Mori die faster.]

[The second those bullets enter Mori’s skull Elise stops dead in her tracks, and the rage on her tiny face is downright frightening. She screams, demanding to know what they did to Rintarou, but Chuuya takes the opportunity to send her flying once more, right into a nearby warehouse. Unfortunately, right before she’s sent flying, she manages to summon an oversized syringe and impale Chuuya right through the chest.]

Shit...

[He’s bleeding. A lot.]

[goatsongs]

[Chuuya's done all he can do with Mori - the man is dead and Elise should disappear soon after. Now he has to chase after his boyfriend and determine what condition he's in. Hopefully the injuries are only minor-

They're not.

With wide eyes, Chuuya rushes to his love's side.]

No, no, no, no...

[thetaintedsorrow]

[It’s getting more and more difficult to catch his breath, and Chuuya’s vision goes blurry around the edges. He can’t tell if he’s been pierced through the heart, or maybe a lung, but he’s definitely not in good shape, regardless.

The expression on his boyfriend’s face breaks his heart, and Chuuya reaches up to cup his cheek with a blood soaked hand.]

I’m sorry. I broke my promise. I said I wouldn’t leave you...

[goatsongs]

Then don't - don't leave - I don't want to bury someone I love again-

[He's crying too hard to see his boyfriend's expression, but the hand on his cheek says everything. Sobbing, Chuuya wraps his arms around the other's chest.

It's too late to worry about aggravating a wound.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Don’t...don’t cry...

[Chuuya gently strokes his boyfriend’s cheek, the movement of his thumb taking almost all the energy he has left.]

I don’t...wanna die without seeing you smile again.

[goatsongs]

[A smile? How can he smile when the love of his life is about to die? But he'd do anything for Chuuya, so he forces the corners of his mouth upward in an attempt at smiling.

There are still tears in the corners of his eyes.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

You’re...so beautiful.

[Chuuya smiles in return as the light slowly begins to fade from his eyes.]

Use the time you have left...to do something good, okay? Don’t...give up because of me.

[goatsongs]

[Don't give up?

His love has always thought too much of him. He says 'don't give up' like Chuuya has the strength to keep going without him. Like Chuuya could pick himself up again after watching another piece of his heart die. Like Chuuya will do anything besides stay here and cry over his corpse until the mafia comes to retaliate.]

...I will.

[He can't keep going, but he can at least lie so that his love can die content.]
